Should the Cowboys have selected a quarterback in the fourth round?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback in 31-year-old Ben Roethlisberger, but that didn’t stop them from drafting Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones in the fourth round Saturday.

The New York Giants also have a two-time Super Bowl champ in 32-year-old Eli Manning, but that didn’t stop them from trading with Arizona to move up for Ryan Nassib of Syracuse.

Two model franchises hardly in need of a quarterback drafting quarterbacks. The Cowboys may regret someday they didn’t do the same.

The Steelers selected Jones with the 115th overall pick, one pick after Dallas drafted William & Mary cornerback B.W. Webb, who is 5 foot 10, 184 pounds and is said to be “allergic to contact.” The Giants grabbed Nassib at No. 110.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was asked Saturday during the club’s post-draft news conference whether there was any consideration at all given to drafting a quarterback.

“Yes, you always talk about all the possible guys and certainly you look at the guys that are at the top of the draft board when you are selecting,” Garrett said. “You have to understand, really, where that player is on the draft board and where he would fit into your football team. You want to make sure you are not stacking people up too much.

“I think every team in the league wants to develop a quarterback. You want a guy coming along, but we feel really good about the quarterbacks we have on our roster right now (33-year-old Tony Romo and veteran backup Kyle Orton) and what their roles are. If one of those top guys had fallen further, we would have had another conversation about it. We felt like those guys were good players and maybe would have been good value, but not for us where we were picking.”

So who do you trust more on this one: The Cowboys who haven’t won a Super Bowl since the one played after the 1995 season and haven’t made the playoffs since 2009 or two model franchises with multiple Super Bowl wins since ’95 and shrewd general managers in Jerry Reese (the Giants) and Kevin Colbert (the Steelers)?
